I think you are going to need more than EasyBCD to sort it. You have
wiped all the XP root files from C:
Vista will have set up its own Boot manager, but that will not be
enough. Try copying all the root files on D: across to C: - then use
EasyBCD. Still possibly not enough, you may need to write and insert a
boot.ini.
